Tuesday, January 17, 2012: J.T. Ready and I conducted a rolling patrol through Stanfield, Casa Grande, Eloy, Arizona City, Coolidge and Florence, Arizona. In addition to surveying a sizable chunk of Pinal County, J.T. Ready filed paper work with the elections office and made history. As of that moment, J.T. Ready became the first Democratic candidate for the office of Pinal County Sheriff.

Current Sheriff, Paul Babeu is going to make as run for Congress in 2012 and his position as Pinal County's top cop is going to be up for grabs.

I think Pinal County may be better served if a civilian rather than a police officer holds the office of Sheriff. All too often, the "blue gang" ends up with too much power. Then, there’s the difference between law "enforcement officer" and "peace officer." I'd much rather have a peace officer in charge.

Neo-Nazi J.T. Ready Runs for Pinal County Sheriff as a Democrat

He supports legalizing marijuana, considers himself a civil libertarian, has had nice things to say about the Occupy movement, and recently filed paperwork in Pinal County to run for Sheriff as a Democrat.

J.T. went on to say, "As part of our exploratory committee for Sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona- the Chairman and I visit a Black neighborhood to better understand the concerns of the people and how to utilize their help in combating Mexican drug cartels. Seems how we have an official Malcolm X street sign, one of my priorities will be to add a George Lincoln Rockwell sign as well." I certainly support a street honoring George Lincoln Rockwell.

The Pinal County Sheriff's Office

To be respected and trusted by all segments of Pinal County’s diverse community. We shall become Arizona’s premier Sheriff’s Office by delivering superior service to Pinal County residents. No matter what the situation, our staff will respond in a professional manner emulating a public servant who is dependable without prejudice, always performing to the best of our abilities. http://pinalcountyaz.gov/Departments/Sheriff/AboutPCSO/Pages/Home.aspx

The Phoenix New Times article goes on to report... Ready's committee "chairman"? According to paperwork Ready submitted to the Pinal County Elections Department, that's active NSM member Harry Hughes, a resident of Maricopa, Arizona, who recently scored some press for local swastika-lickers by distributing racist fliers in the San Tan Valley. I thought joining J.T. Ready's election campaign would be great experience in learning how elections work.

It didn't take long to learn how the system is stacked against the "little guy". We learned that the major party candidates don't need to come up with nearly as many petition signatures at Independents do. We also learned that getting a list of voters costs quite a bit of money. Regular people and those that are not well funded are blocked by the system itself. It's likened to a "members only" or “insiders” type of club.

J.T. Ready's Campaign Points Address Social Issues. . .

My PCSO policy concerning the homeless, drug addicts, and the mentally ill: Our society shuns the mentally ill due to their own innermost fear that they could one day themselves be mentally ill. Society makes fun of the mentally ill all the time. And products like "Crazy Glue" and "Insane Tire Shine" products are completely inappropriate. Instead of treatment and love, the mentally ill are left homeless, laughed at, and treated cruelly by society.

Often, they turn to drugs and alcohol as self-medication. Then authorities, social workers, and health care professionals use that as an excuse not to get them the treatment they so desperately need. Remember, the brain is just another organ of our body. It fails or has defects just like any other human tissue. We wouldn't torture someone simply because they suffer from kidney organ failure now would we?

As it is now, many our our country's mentally ill find themselves in and out of jail for offenses such as public intoxication or disorderly conduct. Many of them never receive treatment and are trapped in a never ending cycle of torment and misery.

Wednesday, January 18, 2012

During the past couple of weeks, I've been participating in a PRESS YOUR LUCK promotion at Harrah's Ak Chin Casino located on SR 347 south of Phoenix. I earned 1000 Total Rewards points and was looking to use them at the Harvest Buffet. I thought this was relatively simple as I've done this before without any problems. Now, my customer service issues have been tossed aside as if there was no problem or issue at all. That was Harrah's biggest mistake.

Apparently, the Indians on the reservation have become hostile and unfriendly towards some casino guests. This is the impression they left on me. As is most often the case, the truth hurts.

During a telephone call to the casino, the unprofessional supervisor was rude to me. Every time I tried to speak, I was interrupted. Needless to say, this angered me and I decided to go up the chain of command. The reason I found myself dealing with the supervisor was due to the lack of initiative exhibited by the previous representative.

I made a total of six(6) telephone calls altogether. Not one person was friendly or helpful. Not One! I made a seventh phone call to Caesars Corporate Customer Service, Harrah's Las Vegas, 3475 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV 89109, (877) 716-4500.

They were also unable to provide answers to my questions, but were at least friendly and polite. They also promised to call me back with possible answers to my questions. I suspect they only told me what they thought I wanted to hear. Harrah's has failed to earn my trust. At this point, trust is beyond recovering.

Text of my email to Total Rewards

On Saturday, January 15, 2012, I received 500 Total Rewards Points in the Press Your Luck promotion. I was told that these points would be on my card within 72 hours. (I was promptly awarded 500 points the week before.) Four(4) days have passed and these points are not on my card, yet. It was my intention to use these points at the Harvest Buffet towards lunch today. Now, due to this problem, that's impossible.

I made five(5) phone calls to Harrah's to get information and was met with ignorance and hostility rather than politeness and understanding. At this point, I did not feel welcome. Where are my points??? I think I was supposed to take my lumps and just walk away. I simply can't do that.

Your Question has been Submitted... Question Reference #120118-000106 Thank you for submitting your question. Our goal is to respond to your inquiry within 3-5 business days (Monday-Friday). We appreciate your patience and look forward to assisting you further.

We are looking at a week to answer my question? That's completely unacceptable. As much as I don't want to. I'm going to have to go there in person to express my dissatisfaction and hopefully get answers to what I originally thought were simple questions.

Arizona's Native American Tribes

The Ak-Chin Indian Community was created in May of 1912 by way of Executive Order from President Taft. The community consists of both Tohono O'odham and Pima Indians, and can be found in the Sonoran Desert of south central Arizona. In 1984, a water rights settlement was approved by Congress, entitling the Ak-Chin Community access to 75,000 acre-feet of Colorado River water. Ak-Chin Farms, Harrah's Casino, and the Ak-Chin Tribal Government are all major employers. http://edrp.arid.arizona.edu/tribes.html

Since waiting until next week was unacceptable, I decided to go to Harrah's Ak Chin Casino in person. I wasn't there five minutes before my awards points were in my account. No explanation was given as to what happened and why.

That being out of the way, we decided to check out the buffet. It was 1:03 pm. Upon entering, I observed unfinished drywall and unpainted walls. There was supposed to be beef brisket at the carving station. There wasn't. I was ignored when I asked, “Where's the beef?” The pork loin was dry and tough. Again, my comment was completely ignored.

“Velda” paced around shaking her head claiming she “didn't know”. She was very unfriendly and I wondered why she was working around people. “Chris”, the tall beatnik, looked like he was ready to fall asleep, He stood at the buffet entrance and impatiently kicked a sign. We observed many other employees milling about doing nothing that resembled work.

The buffet was in no way a relaxing place to eat. With the sounds of employees shouting across the room and the banging and clanking of dishes, I thought I was in a factory, rather than a restaurant.

My comments on the customer service forum were deleted: I responded!

I told the truth and rather than solve a customer service problem, you have decided to delete it. That's unfair and dishonest. I have taken the liberty of making a screen shot of the original comment and will post it on my blog. I'm also writing multiple reviews for publication elsewhere. I'm not going away. Step up and fix what is broken and there would be no need for comments such as mine in the first place. You people are truly disgusting and pathetic (for trying to silence the truth).

Upon leaving the casino, an ambulance and fire truck using lights and sirens arrived. Perhaps, somebody choked on the pork loin or had a bad customer service experience. Neither would surprise me.

Quotations

We can have peace and security only as long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood, only so long as we guard ourselves against dilution by foreign races. It is time to turn from our quarrels and to build our White ramparts again. This alliance with foreign races means nothing but death to us. It is our turn to guard our heritage..before we become engulfed in a limitless foreign sea.

--Charles A. Lindbergh Readers Digest, Nov. 1939

Rudyard Kipling's Insight

The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon

It was not part of their blood It came to them very lateWith long arrears to make good,When the SAXONS began to hate,

They were not easily moved,They were icy-willing to waitTill every count should be proved

Ere the SAXONS began to hate.Their voices were even and low,Their eyes were level and straight,There was neither sign nor show,

When the SAXONS began to hate.It was not preached to the crowdIt was not taught by the State,No man spoke it aloud,When the SAXONS began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred,It will not swiftly abateThrough the chilled years aheadWhen Time shall count from the dateThat the SAXONS began to hate."

The Strangerby Rudyard Kipling (1908.. but timeless perspective on immigration.)

The Stranger within my gate,He may be true or kind,But he does not talk my talk—I cannot feel his mind.I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,But not the soul behind.

The men of my own stock,They may do ill or well,But they tell the lies I am wonted to,They are used to the lies I tell;And we do not need interpretersWhen we go to buy or sell.

The Stranger within my gates,He may be evil or good,But I cannot tell what powers control—What reasons sway his mood;Nor when the Gods of his far-off landShall repossess his blood.

The men of my own stock,Bitter bad they may be,But, at least, they hear the things I hear,And see the things I see;And whatever I think of them and their likes

They think of the likes of me.This was my father's beliefAnd this is also mine:Let the corn be all one sheaf—

And the grapes be all one vine,Ere our children's teeth are set on edgeBy bitter bread and wine.
